Isaiah 36-39 – Righteousness Comes from Descending to the Death Gates of Self

If we tie together the deliverance prayers of Hezekiah for Jerusalem and himself, against certain Assyrian annihilation and mortal illness; and if we have correctly made the connection that both of these are death and resurrection motifs; then we become enlightened as to what a faithful prayer by a righteous man is – dead to self, resurrected to God’s purposes. Isn’t this what is seen in Jesus’ exemplary yet pain filled Gethsemane words, “Your will, not mine be done.” Righteousness comes from descending to the death gates of self.
